If the Queen, any member of the royal family or anyone with an eye-watering huge buying budget wanted to bag a mansion in Wales, they have a choice of wonderful, historic homes to choose from, but as the latest data from the Land Registry shows, they had better get a move on as house prices over the decades here have soared.
House prices in parts of Wales have more than quadrupled since the Queen's Golden Jubilee 20 years ago, rising by 231% in two decades, from an average of £62,346 in 2002 to £206,395 in 2022.
For example, back in March 2002, as the Queen was celebrating 50 years on the throne, the average home in Blaenau Gwent was worth £28,919. By the time she hit her Diamond Jubilee in 2012, the average price had risen to £71,574.
